Chapter 518: Every Villain Has His Nemesis
Before long, Qiao Qinghe returned.
These days, Qiao Qinghe was also busy carrying water to irrigate the fields. However, he did not have a bullock cart, only two water buckets. He would lift the filled buckets from the well, then carry them on a carrying pole to the fields.
All thirty acres depended on him alone. His face looked older, and his back was bent.
Seeing his condition, Sun Family’s woman felt deeply distressed.
As she was considering whether to hire someone secretly to do the fieldwork, Qiao Qinghe asked her what she came back for this time.
She had been driven out of the village. Every time she came back, there had to be a legitimate reason, otherwise, Qiao Qinghe would drive her away again.
This time, her reason for coming back was quite valid: to talk about the marriage proposal for Qiao Changshun!
As soon as she said this, Qiao Qinghe immediately rebuked her, “You’ve broken off your relationship with Changshun. Mind your own business!”
“I’m doing it for his good!” Sun Family’s woman rattled off what happened in the morning.
She was convinced that Qiao Xiaomai, siding with the Tong Family, had been taking Qiao Family’s things to the Tong Family’s house. Could such a thing be ignored?
“As the head of the house, you are Changsun’s father, and the master of our Qiao Family. When Tong Family deliberately lies to deceive their fellow villagers, it also affects the reputation of the Qiao Family. You have to do something about it!”
She had been troublesome before, but it was only within her own home, and it did not harm the interests of others. The trick the Tong Family was playing was from another level, it was too much.
After hearing the reason, Qiao Qinghe’s brow furrowed even deeper. “You must stop meddling, Xiaomai is not that kind of person!”
“She wasn’t in the past, but what about now? She’s been led astray by that Tong Sanlang, and the Tong Family is in a hurry to get rich!” Sun Family’s woman said, “Besides, even if she isn’t, with the sudden occurrence of such an event, you as a grandfather should go and ask about it!”
Her words hit home with Qiao Qinghe.
Qiao Changshun was indecisive, and now it was Qiao Xiaomai who was making the decisions in the family.
But after all, Qiao Xiaomai was still young, and she couldn’t see things clearly or thought too simply. As a grandfather, who had decades’ worth of experience, it would be better for him to go and have a talk.
With this in mind, Qiao Qinghe ate his lunch and didn’t go to work in the fields as usual. Instead, he went to Qiao Xiaomai’s house.
After Qiao Qinghe had been gone for a quarter of an hour, Sun Family’s woman let Yingniang get on the Donkey Cart, then she drove the Donkey Cart to Qiao Xiaomai’s house in a hurry. Check latest chapters at novel·fiɾe·net
She didn’t believe that Qiao Changshun would also lock the door if there were guests coming!
Indeed, Qiao Changshun did not lock the door.
The gate of Qiao Xiaomai’s Courtyard was wide open, and a donkey cart was parked outside.
Sun Family’s woman thought it was the people who were helping the Qiao Family work in the fields who came back, and she was pleased.
However, she was scared by Qiao Xiaomai last time. She parked the donkey cart near the gate and stood on the cart looking into the courtyard.
In this way, if Qiao Xiaomai came out with a broom, she could drive the cart away immediately.
As she was looking into the courtyard, her gaze inadvertently met someone else’s.
She stared at that person for a few moments. When she finally realized who it was, she crouched down in a panic.
Yingniang, who was sitting in the cart, quickly asked, “Mrs. Sun, what’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing, nothing.” Replied Sun Family’s woman randomly, hurriedly sitting upright on the cart. She whipped up her whip, “Go, go!”
The person who made eye contact with her just now was Hua Xiaofeng!
She hadn’t seen Hua Xiaofeng since their confrontation years ago. After more than ten years, she couldn’t recognize her at first glance!
Regarding Hua Xiaofeng, this shrew, she was still intimidated.
She would avoid her for today!
However, although she wanted to avoid her, she couldn’t.
Hua Xiaofeng recognized her the moment she saw her, then Hua Xiaofeng got up with the broom from Qiao Xiaomai’s house and came out.
Hua Xiaofeng, who was anxious to make a contribution in front of Qiao Xiaomai, showed unprecedented agility and speed. Just as Sun Family’s woman was passing by Qiao Xiaomai’s house with the donkey cart, Hua Xiaofeng lifted the broom and smacked it down.
